I have two new poems in newest issue of @transitionmag_hu based at Harvard University’s Hutchins Center for African & African American Research.

I'm so grateful to the team, especially Vasantha Sambamurti for the solicitation and Tanya Larkin for the beautiful communication. I'm stoked about having my work alongside the writers I admire like Adedayo Agarau, Okwudili Nebolisa, Taylor Byas, Ama Codjoe and more. 🤲🏽❤️

I had a new poem published on the @poetryfoundation in May. It was a month filled with anxiety and so many things to do, and I couldn't bring myself to share a new poem here. Do read the first of my ekphrastics on Salvador Dali's mind-blowing life works. ❤️💫
My poem also got to appear as a Poem-a-day work on Poetry Foundation. It was something I really appreciated. by @panini_500bc
